Journal #7 perspective of Aunt Alexandra.

Those children of my brothers, their motives can be so OBSCURE sometimes. I don't know if I will ever understand why the ran off to see that dreadful court case. I knew, Atticus knew it, everyone in Maycomb knew it. It was INEVITABLE that that poor boy Tom was going to be pronounced guilty. 

When those kids ran off to play outside I didn't think nothing of it. but when they went missing and I no longer heard them in the front yard, I began to worry. At first I had some APPREHENSION about telling my brother with this court case going on. but then I decided that I would not be able to SUSTAIN my sanity if I had to wait. I sat down with a piece of paper and a pen and got to work. Now is is very IMPROBABLE that I get off track when writing, but I was so mad that the kids had disobeyed me and their father again that I must have gone on a rant because I filled up the page with all of the PURSUITS that I did not agree with.  I went in to the kitchen to find Cal, and have her deliver the letter, I wanted to be home when they got back. I sat in the big chair and waited, and waited and waited. I must have waited for the better part of the day thinking of what I would say to them when they got back. I went in the kitchen to get a glass of water, and saw that Cal was still there! she hadn't taken the letter yet. I near blew my head off yelling her out of there. 

When they returned I was still brooding over Cal that I forgot to give them my prepared speech. I figured that the moment had passed and that it would strike home better if I would wait for another opportunity.

Perspective of Tom Robinson

When they came to get me from the jail house, I was scared. I had been there a while and I knew that they would pass guilty on me. I also knew that they wouldn't keep me there for ever.

“Come on Tom, time for your trial.” one of Heck's deputies hauled me roughly to my feet. He led me down and out of the jail house. The car worked and even if it didn't there was a side street we could have taken, but he led me down the main street pass all of the people, like an animal on display. All the people decided to INDULGE themselves on my suffering. All of them seemingly OBLIVIOUS, to my feelings.

I was put down in my chair to the right of the jury. I was being gazed upon by all of those disdainful eyes. The only person in the room at the moment that did not want to seem me hang was Atticus finch.

“How are you feeling to day Tom? Had quite the scare last night.” , I answered, “Yes suh, but I'll be fine.” , As Mayella and Mr. Gilmer walked in all of the safe feelings that Atticus gave me were quickly COMPLACENTLYDISPELLED. All she did was look at me with a smug look of satisfaction. As if she was happy to see me up for trial for something I most certainly did not do. I BEGRUDGED all of my friends and family that would soon be on the second floor balcony. They were all just spectators to my plight, however If I were to be up there someone else would have to be down here. No matter what someone would have to be down here. I couldn't do that to, not just my friends, but anyone, even Mayella. Well maybe Mayella. Any way me and my bum arm will just have to sit through this, just like we've sat through everything else that has happened to us.

Journal #5 from the perspective of Dill

I never knew my father. The one who made that is. My mom find me lots of new daddies all the time but they never stay for a very long time. The one she has for me right now is the worst. He doesn't like me at all. He likes me so little that he sent me to my room. All I wanted to do was play some but he wouldn't have it. He said I was ANTAGONIZING and that I should be punished for it. I don't know what ANTAGONIZING even is. So I just sat there in my room tryin' to figure out what it meant. This is when I had a brilliant thought. I would run away. But to where? I know Scout and Jems house, they would understand. They would understand better than any of my relatives. However I needed to think about how I was going to get to Maycomb. I know I would EXTRACT money from my mother's purse. She was the one who didn't try to stop my new father from putting me in my room. I waited for them to go to sleep then I put my plan into action. I walked to the train station with my stolen tender in hand and walked to the train station. This was a familiar trip I haven't been to Maycomb in a while but, I knew that the train station was down the street from the house and I knew how to get to the street my fiancé lives on. I bought my ticket and boarded the train without the slightest resistance. However, when I saw the engineer for the train, with whom I was well acquainted, I was at first exited then, worried because he might be in on the search for me. I did my best to act casual, and hide the fact that I had forgotten my shoes. After a well mannered conversation I felt pretty sly with all of my evasions. This is when I realized if I were to impress my friends I would need a better story than I hoped the train and then walked here. I sat with the deepest look of PENSIVE thinking on my face and wove my tail. As we arrived in the station, I felt pretty good about the story. When I got off the train I realized I had to walk a good 20 miles to get to the finch home. Thankfully after not to long a grain cart came along. I hid on the back until we got close. I was in luck, the back door was unlocked, I hid in scouts room and when I heard them coming I hid under the bed. Of course I had to EMERGE, and then I had to talk with Atticus. I had ACQUIRED the idea that he would have me sent home immediately, but much to my enjoyment I would get one more summer with my love, Jean Louise.

Example: Journal #1- Chapters 10-12 from the perspective of Jem

Sometimes I wish that Atticus was like the other fathers. All of Scout's and my CONTEMPORARIES all had fathers who did interesting things or had fascinating jobs. All Atticus could do was be a lawyer. He likes to play keep-away with me, but when I want to practice tackling he is always to tired or he tells me he's to old. for that stuff. As you can imagine it is very disheartening for a boy my age to have a largely sedentary and useless father.
One day as I was walking with Scout, air rifles in hand, and looking for birds to shoot, we saw a dog way off in the distance. "What you reckon that is out yonder?", Scout said pointing at the figure. "I don't know." I said scratching my head. Then as we looked at it I had the strangest feeling that we should go. Scout beat me to it and we marched off. When we got home Cal's reaction to our story practically made me jump out of my skin. I had learned about mad dogs in school. That probably gave me my sense of PERIL when we first spotted it. Scout usually loves to CONTRADICT Cal but she said no words and if she did it was INAUDIBLE. I was confused when the sheriff and Atticus showed up. I understood that he may want to help us but then when he just stood there. Then when the sheriff Heck Tate tried to hand Atticus the rifle I had thought that he had gone mad to. After Atticus took the rifle I was even more surprised. I thought that he would try to be all INCONSPICUOUS and sneak up on the dog. Then as I watch in dumbstruck awe, he takes of his glasses and lets them fall to the ground. He raises the rifle and hits the dog dead center. That dog was so far away I could hardly see him and atticus just hit him like he was nothing. I was so thrilled that he could do this. I would be able to brag for years before this got old. Then I realized, if he hadn't told us about this amazing talent by now, he must not want us to know. I then thought it best that we not brag. Even though I would have to face scouts CANTANKEROUS objections.

Journal #3 from the perspective of Miss Maudie.

It was a quite enough evening, cold, bone chillingly cold. The whole night I was fearful for my flowers well being. However, I was able to finally get to sleep after lighting a fire in the kitchen for my potted plants. I slept without interruption until I was awoken by a bright flickering light coming in my door. I immediately disregarded it as just the kitchen fire, but then I realized that I can't see the kitchen from my bed room. With the fanatical quickness of a woman who cares more for her flowers than her own life, I lept from my bed, threw on my robe and was out side of my house faster than you can say "Help my house is on fire!", and that is exactly what i said as I ran outside. when I was on the other side of the street, I was only to house. It seemed that either my cries or the fire had already awoken many other people on the street. Before long Atticus Finch and his two children emerged from their house and because I did not want to isolate myself I went to his side. As I watched my house burn, I debated with myself how I should go about finding a place to stay for the time being. I was fairly well acquainted with Miss Stephanie and i know she wants my Lane Cake recipe but I would never give it to her. I was entrusted with it by my grand mother and I would never give it up. After I thought of that All I could think of was what my flowers would do. Will they be OK? This thought consumed me so much I don't remember anything else till morning when I asked Miss Stephanie and she agreed to let me stay, and I thought that she may be worthy to know my recipe, if she can make any sense of it.

Journal #2 from the perspective of dill.I was so sad to leave my friends in Maycomb, but school
was starting and I had no choice but to leave and go home to my mother. I endured the school year being ridiculed by the other students for my size and mistaken for a kindergarten. The Tyranny of the bullies at my school never ceased. All I heard in class was "Shorty!", and "Pip-Squeak". I was infinitely relieved to finally be back in Maycomb. I was even happier when Jem proposed that we play a new game,"Lets play Boo Radley" he said, and so we did. Of course the aim of all of this was to draw Boo Radley out from hiding. This was our one goal while we re-enacted all of Boo's lore and legends. We thought that Boo would see this and decide to come out and play. Secretly, I was terrified of Boo Radley coming out side because I thought he might be mad for disturbing us and then he would eat us. However I must stay resolute to impress my love, Scout. I wasn't to keen, however, on stopping when anyone walked by, but it made me feel sorta like a villain from one of our other stories. All powerful, devious and mysterious. I wasn't ashamed with our game but I understood that if anyone got wise to us we would have to stop and we would never come out and then I don't know how I would win over Scout's true love or Jem's respect. I was sad when scout nagged Jem into stopping the game but I don't think that I could out nag Scout, after all we were supposed to be married and I have noticed that all of the husbands on my street at home don't win any arguments with their wives so I didn't want to upset the status quo. So I just went with it, like I go with the insults I get at school.

Journal #1- Chapters 1-3 from the perspective of Walter Cuningham 

I hate the first day of school. I have always felt that it was a colossal waste of time. I have been held back more times than I can count, which is not very high since I haven't finished the first grade.  Every year I am irked by my father that I need to go to school. I have never had a reason to distrust my father so I concede. I'm sure that I would like it more if I could actually finish the year. Just once I would like to compromise  with my father. I would get to finish the first grade but then I would work twice as hard the next year.  However, every year I put on my clean shirt, and overalls and walk barefoot to school. I had heard that there is a new teacher there, but it never occurred to me that she was not from Macomb. When I sat down, in the same room, same desk even, I began to feel indigenous to this place.

I never have valued myself as smart. I am in the first grade and I am almost as old as some of the fifth graders.  I have on the other hand always admired that that Scout girl. She was the smartest person I had ever met. When the new teacher Miss Caroline walked into the class room and introduced herself I realized instantly even before she said were she was from, that she was not from these parts.  I had known for a long time now that Scout could read and write. I would have thought that Miss Caroline would have praised her for it, but instead she scolded Scout with pronouncements of how here father was teaching her incorrectly.    

I was astounded at the way they were able to argue for so long, but when they finished, I was able to simply endure the day. Until dinner came along. This was my least favorite time of day. I knew that because Miss Caroline was new she wouldn't know about me. 

"Now class if you have your food with you please put it on your desk.", all I could do was sit there like a nimrod.  "You there did you forget your lunch?", "Yess'um" I lied. When Miss Caroline pulled out a quarter and tried to hand it to me, I was so full of shame I almost started to cry. This shame consumed me so much, I was all but unable to hear the ensuing conversation between Miss Caroline and Scout. All I remember is looking up and seeing Scout getting hit on the hand with a ruler and being sent to the corner. After we were dismissed, Scout jumped on me and started rubbing my nose in the dirt. I couldn't fight back, because boys can't hit girls, so I would just have to persevere. 

I could not have been more thankful when Jem came along, and saved me from his evil sister. When he invited me over I, at first wanted to say no but then decided that it couldn't hurt. While at the Finch home I got to have the most delicious dinner I had had in a long time. However Scout ruined it when she made fun of me for putting syrup all over my food. The food lifted my sprits and I was chipper as could be on my way back to school though. 

Miss Caroline's reaction to the cootie in one of the Ewell boy's hair was entertaining but not really anything special. At least nothing I haven't seen before.   

"What is the What" book review

Lincoln Dutcher

What is the What

What is the What is a non-fiction novel about the life of a Sudanese boy who's name is Achak. The book starts with Achak in his apartment in Atlanta. he hears a knock at the door so he answers it. He sees before him a big burly african woman. She asks is she can use his telephone. He obliges. She burst in and locks herself in the bed room. she is followed into the door by a large man in a powder blue shirt.

This is just the beginning of one of the hardest nights in Achak's life. these people go on to beat and rob him. Now this book would be pretty dull if it was just him talking in real time about how he was robbed. He says that he is a Sudanese refugee, he says so early in the book. Therefore by hearing this you have questions like "How did he get here?", "What was the trip like?" Thankfully for the reader this is explained. the story is told through his eyes. The entire plot takes place over he course of a few days starting when he was robbed and ending a few days later.

Achak's past is told through a series of vivid flash backs. One of his first flash baks is of his perfect day. However that quickly devolves into how his entire village was annihilated by the Sudan government. it vividly describes every gory detail. After this attack he was forced to travel hundreds of miles with hundreds of other "lost boys" as they came to be known. Most of his flash backs are extremely depressing. However, these flash backs are more accurate than the sugar coated versions that people usually hear

The writing style for What is the What is all first person. The characters in he book are all very realistic, and relatable. One character named Deng, in all of his organization and leadership ability, reminds me of my father. Achak's best friend, William K., reminds me of my best friend in the way that we are practically inseparable. This book also gives the reader a valuable insight into the human psychology. This story is 100% true. There are many accounts of lost boys Losing their minds. One boy actually curled up in a hole and died. simply out of his own accord. 

In summary, I think that this book is incredibly depressing. Comparable to The Grapes of Wrath . If you are able to endure the everlasting sadness in this book you will notice that through out all of these horrible events, Achak remained resolute. I thought that the ending was very satisfying. A very poetic way to wrap up and encapsulate everything that transpired in the book 

 

Immigration Reflection

Immigration Project Reflection

LC Books

My experience with was very good. I really enjoyed my book. I think this was because it starts in the middle of something and then goes back to explain how everything happened. I like books like that. they hold my attention better than other books that start at the beginning and end at the end. That is what common sense tells you to do, but sometimes going against the grain would give you a better story.

I learned that my perception of immigrants having a better life within months was totally wrong. I hadn't given much thought to how much the immigrants would be affected. they are in a foreign country, they don't speak English, and they need a job. To get a job they need an education. they probably couldn't get an education in there native county, or they wouldn't have come here. so now they have to catch up on school, hold down a job usually more than two. Thats even if they get in. getting here is hard to. you have to get a visa or become a citizen. then you have to find a way to get her. That is expensive. The hardships for an immigrant never really end.

Everyone will want to change something if they don't like it. I liked the LC book project. I had a good book and I was able to keep up with it and I had fun. I can't think of anything that I would want to change. the blog post were a really good idea, and I enjoyed not having to do anything for it in class. That took a lot of pressure off of me. I think that that is what made it so I was able to do the work.

I enjoyed the blogging. It was a more fun alternative to sitting and talking about something that is kind of boring. Also people would not say what they really think because they felt insecure. With the blog people can just sit in their room at their desk and let it all out. Sitting with your computer and your favorite tunes, is a much more relaxing place than in the Main Commons where its cold and exposed.

I didn't have any problems with the blogging. I did in seventh grade, but that was just because I didn't know what, or how to use blogs. They were also just starting out so they weren't perfect.

Everyone sees a different kind of blue. The color that I see is totally different than the color you see. The exact same goes for books. I may read a novel and think it has a happy ending. Where as you will read the book and think that its sad. I found, However that almost all of my group members interpreted the book in a similar way. The interpretations of the intentions of different characters differed, but we all agreed on the core concept of the book. We all felt very sorry for Achak, and thought that he should have a better life. Our opinions would be different when it came to moral questions. I wrote in one of my blog posts that I thought that just because you have been the victim of a horrendous occurrence. Kevin Dervishi Completely disagrees with that. He believes that being a victim earns you the right to have what you want

Art and Literature

I always have trouble explaining my art. I just let ideas come to me. It is sort of like catching a butterfly. You don't really remember the chase, all that really stands out in your mind is when you caught the butterfly, or in this case the idea. My first idea was to have a sad picture because the book is very sad. I decided that the best way to have a sad picture is to show that a lot of people died, because thats what I find the most sad. I tried to just have tomb stones going off to the distance. This was a bad idea because there wasn't enough to look at. then I tried having tombstones for only the main characters that died, with gold in the distance to symbolize the opportunities that await him. This wasn't good enough to so I finally settled on having Achak looking down from the moon to earth.

I think that the connection is very apparent. I showed it to a person who had never read the book ,and, while they didn't interpret it exactly as I had planned, but close enough. I am sure that even someone who doesn't do much interpreting of art will understand this art piece.

When I was done with the painting I was very proud of it.. the colors turned out perfectly the coats were nice and even. The best part was that the emotion that I was trying convey was there. that was a problem that I was having with my art.

I think that a little more time to work, maybe a day. Also some better paintbrushes. all I had access to was a lot of crusty paintbrushes that scraped up more paint than they put down. There weren't enough good small brushes. I had to use a paper clip to write some things.

I preferred it to writing about it. The art let me convey more emotion than with a two page essay about why I liked the book. I like to talk about things but writing takes longer and the ideas get backed up. When I paint the ideas slow down and I can get them all out.

Interview Process with Participant & Gift

I was one of the people who was privileged enough to get to go to the IRC. Were other people had to do three interviews, we only had to do two. Both of these were in person. We had to ask more questions than the other people, but it was nice to get to know the immigrants we were interviewing in person, rather than over the phone. I had been scared that because these people were from so far away that I would have nothing in common with them. After interviewing them, I noticed that we are very much alike. We like to go to the beach, we like TV, and we like living in America. Of course there are many more things that make us similar but I wont go into that. I was surprised at how easy it was to relate with these people. Because it was so easy to relate, it was easy to write questions.

Out of the interviewing process, I learned how hard it was for people to get here. When my immigrant came over from Cambodia, she and her sister could only bring however much that they could fit in an old TV box.

I loved being able to have someone to talk to, who had gone though the immigration process. You can only learn so much from the History Alive books. Talking to someone who had been through it conveyed so much more emotion and specifics.

I made my immigrant a CD with lots of American songs on it. This is what she specifically asked for when we gave her her options. She wanted a CD because she is trying to learn English better. Something that you don't always think about when thinking of immigration, is how they are going to learn another language. We learned English our whole lives. Now they have to learn English as fast as possible. English is one of the hardest languages in the world to learn. We have so many little rules and exceptions to those rules that if you can learn those that is a miracle in and of itself.

Post 4

Quote#1"We tried to be polite about our eating, but there were so many new foods on May's table,and we could not know what was a danger and what was not" Achak 175 

Response: This Quote answers number 5. It shows that just because they have lived here and are legally citizens, they still don't under stand our culture. I cannot imagine having to deal with the culture shock that they must be going through. 

Personal Connection:When I interviewed my immigrant, I asked here how she was adjusting to life in america, and she said she was having no trouble. This was confusing to me, because she hasn't been here much longer that Achak, but she is having little to no problems with adjusting.

Question: Have you ever had a time when you didn't understand what to do in a setting like this?

Quote #2"William and I understood almost nothing Dut said, but he seemed satisfied." Achak, 193

Response: I chose this quote because, it shows that these are just a few school boys who are having to trudge along hundreds of miles just to survive. These boys have not had much of an education, so if they do make it out of there I wouldn't know what to do. I don't think that I could do this, even if it was for survival.

Character Judgement: I Think that Dut is a very good leader. he is strong, level headed, and smart. I think that he understands the boys. If he reads something that he knows that the boys won't understand he usually will try to explain it. Or at least he will give them some reassuring sign.

Question: Has anyone ever told you something that you didn't understand at all?  

post 5

Quote #1:"I was almost a solider Julian.I was saved by a massacre." Achak, 318.
Quote #1: response: this quote goes with question number 2. during there trip, nothing was normal, things that were previously thought to be good can be bad. Things previously thought to be bad can be good.
Quote #1:personal connection: I have always tried to make sense of the world, but it is events like this one that leave me confused. Einstein once said"We can never understand it all."
Question#1:How people do you think go into the army willingly and how many are forced to?

Quote #2:"No one wanted to enter the forest, for in the forest, boys disappeared" Achak, 328
Quote#2:response:I chose this quote because the boys don't really disappear. However to a boy who has been walking and has little energy for reason, this would make sense.
Quote#2:Personal connection:I remember a time when I was that young and people vanishing,orfalling off the face of the earth made sense.
Question#2:do you rember a time when you thought something but now realalize how absurd it was?

Post 3

Quote 1: Achak "I was so hungry,my hunger splitting me everywhere. But in my clan the elephant was sacred." 150

Significance: This one applies to number 6. He is conflicted because he is forbidden to eat an elephant by his clan but he is starving to death and he doesn't know when he may find food again. I am not a religious person but if I was I don't know if I could make that kind of choice.

Character Analysis: Dut. I believe that Dut is a Dinka boy and that would probably mean that he was from the same religion as Achak. So is this is true I am wondering why he didn't have the same apprehension as Achak.

Question: How did those guys take down an Elephant with out an elephant gun?

Quote 2: Mawien "With the same bullet both men will die. This was disappointing to both Deng and I" 155

 Significance: This one applies to number 2. The journey for these boys who were younger than me and had never even heard of the world outside their own villages. They had to cross a continent and they didn't know what to do if they got hurt or if they got lost.

Character Judgement: Mawien. I don't like him because he is trying to convince these boys to join the child soldiers army(Red Army). this I think is devious and deceitful.

Question: Why are they called the Red Army when that is what the Russians were called in WWII?            

post 2

Quote 1: A woman in a village who had two babies. "You can come with me, you ca be my son" 102
Significance: This quote applies to number 5. This is because right after this woman offers to be his new mother he immediately declines. I think that this is because he wants to believe that his parents are still alive and that by accepting this woman as his mother he would be betraying his culture and his family.
Personal Connection: My personal connection to this is that I read in Discover Magazine that children are always reluctant to let some one in on their life because they feel like they are betraying the memory of their parent. This is how I think that Achak is feeling the same way.
Question: At this point dose Achak have any intention of searching for his parents or has he given up on that?

Quote 2: An old woman Achak encounters on his journey. "She said that the end was coming and that I should simply sit still and wait."

Significance: This quote goes with number 1. Achak didn't like always running and not knowing weather or not he would make it through the night. this is something that I could not handle. 

Personal Connection: I consider myself a very sympathetic person. However, I find it very hard to relate to these people. I feel bad for them, which I don't know is good or bad and I still have no idea of what they went through. 

Question:  Does the book ever come out and tell you that his parents are dead because I am still unsure?      

Children of Immigrants Reflection

Part 2: Children of Immigrants
My favorite picture was called The Preuss School UCSD. This one stood out to me because I reminded me of when I saw the movie Freedom Writers. In that movie there are a lot of High schoolers who are the children of immigrants. In the movie they also learn about the holocaust which made me think of the From haven to Home exhibit.
My favorite quote was "Home is a place my family and me can be safe. A place to eat, to study, and take a bath. Also the sweetest and safest place I have ever been.", this quote spoke ti me because in your home you feel very safe and private. in other counties they do not have that luxury. I feel that I am blessed that I do. The personal essay that I chose is called Land of the Brave. I can relate to this essay because through out the whole thing the main character has to be brave and overcome many challenges. I can relate because we all face many difficult challenges in my daily life. This gave me a glimpse through the eyes of an immigrant by showing me that almost everything in the life of an immigrant is a monuments challenge

From Haven to Home Reflection

Part 1: From haven to Home
The purpose of the From Haven to Home exhibit was to teach us about Jewish culture or Jewry in America. Some of the things that I learned during the exhibit are that anti-semitism is when you are racist against Jewish people. I also learned that Albert Einstein was Jewish. I learned about the letter that George Washington sent to a synagogue in Rode Island. In that letter George Washington said that "the government shall give Bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance. He wrote this because at the time, it was illegal for anyone of Jewish decent to run for public office. When the Jewish people landed in New Amsterdam they were not allowed in by the local government because they thought that they would be a financial burden and then they would have to let in the Lutherans and the Papists. I also learned that because synagogues were few and far between many families would hold services in their own homes.

Quote #1
"TV Boy, have respect. Have you seen the beginning of a war? Picture your neighborhood, and now see the women screaming, babies being tossed into wells. Watch your brothers explode. I want you there with me." , Achak/Valintino, 73.

Significance #1
I chose this quote because it gives me a vivid picture in my mind of what Achak has been through and why he had to leave his home and come to America. We hear about these sort of things from news paper articles and on TV, but we can't really relate, or ever hope to understand what these people have been through. This quote helps give me an idea of how he felt and why he came to America.

Character Judgment #1
I think that because Achak has been through such hard ships, he feels entitled to some kind of special treatment as a reward for all of the hard ships he has endured. While I admire him greatly because of his strength and courage going through this, I feel that no amount of suffering inflicted on you for no reason earns you a reward. The only reward worthy suffering in when you suffer for what you believe is right.

Question #1
What is Michele's relationship with Powder and Tonya?

Quote #2
"We all wanted to go to College and have a family, but at my job in the carpet room I would never make enough money to go and achieve my dream" Achak, 14

Significance #2
This quote is significant because it is one of the many struggles that faces immigrants coming to America. An education is one of the hardest things to get.

Personal Connection #2
In this Quote Achak is contemplating weather or not to give up on his dream. my parents in the front room are watching Man on Wire, a move about a man who had a dream to walk on a wire between the twin towers and at many times thought about quitting but never did

Question #2
How much education did Achak receive while in Africa
